Shakira expecting first child

The singer and her fiance Gerard Pique are expecting their first child together, she announced on her website, adding that the news would require her to postpone several planned appearances.

“As some of you may know, Gerard and I are very happy awaiting the arrival of our first baby! At this time we have decided to give priority to this unique moment in our lives and postpone all the promotional activities planned over the next few days,” she wrote.

“This means I will not be able to be a part of the iHeartRadio Music Festival, but I’m sure this weekend in Las Vegas will be spectacular and I will be closely following everything that happens there! ” Shakira said.
